Acrobats of China @ The Ridgefield Playhouse: An annual tradition, The Acrobats of China’s performances, typify Chinese circus acts that trace their origins to harvest festivals of more than 2,000 years ago. They offer a refreshing alternative to the traditions of Western acrobats and circuses. Under the direction of Zhao Lizhi, the artistry features jugglers, comic knife throwers and the bicyclist who finishes by piling 10 of his colleagues aboard his vehicle. This show will sell out – get your tickets early!

About the Ridgefield Playhouse

We like to call The Ridgefield Playhouse the hardest working venue around. With a seating capacity of 536 seats, compared to 1,8oo for The Capitol Theatre or 1,500 for Paramount Hudson Valley, they can’t rely on a couple of “good gates” a week to pay the rent. Instead, they’re booking every day of the year, except Christmas.

In fact they book 200-225 live shows a year. And they fill in with on-screen events (art house movies and documentaries, Metropolitan Opera, Bolshoi Ballet or National Theatre on screen HD presentations) on the days when they don’t have a live show. But their size may be a blessing in disguise. For them and their patrons. Because it enables them to tap into a wide range of musical talent. And serve up the best lineup.
